About the Role
Our client is a national organisation investing in both cyber resilience and infrastructure modernisation.
This is a hybrid role where you’ll spend part of your week embedded in ISO/NIST compliance, security operations, and vendor management, while also rolling up your sleeves across Azure cloud and endpoint environments.
